Golf In South Carolina

The 2017 list of the "Top 30 Courses You Can Play In South Carolina" was released this week by the South Carolina Golf Course Rating Panel. The panel consists of 128 members from across the state who are avid golfers with a high familiarity with the SC's 350-plus courses. Narrowing it down to the top 30 is no easy task, but the results are in. The Myrtle Beach Region placed 13 courses in the top 25, more than any other region, and five (5) of those are on the Waccamaw Golf Trail. They include Caledonia (3), True Blue (7), TPC Myrtle Beach (11), Pawleys Plantation (14) and Heritage Club (23).

Caledonia and True Blue are both designs of the late Mike Strantz. Both courses have previously earned national recognition from GOLF Magazine, Golf Digest, Golfweek and Golf World. TPC Myrtle Beach is a Fazio-Wadkins design that hosted to SENIOR TOUR Championship in 2000 and is home to the Dustin Johnson Golf Academy. Pawleys Plantation is a challenging Jack Nicklaus signature design. Heritage Club is a Dan Maples built upon a former rice plantation that abuts ancient rice fields and the scenic Waccamaw River.

Stevens Point, WI

Centrally located in Wisconsin, SentryWorld is a true destination golf course that any level of golfer will enjoy. Originally designed for Sentry Insurance in 1983 by Robert Trent Jones Jr., he returned 30 years later-and in collaboration with course architects Bruce Charlton and Jay Blasi-oversaw a 20-month renovation to the 200-acre course upgrading everything from the layout, greens, grasses, and bunkers to the irrigation system and water features.

The renovations are a hit with golfers who often comment on the improved playability and enjoyment factor of the course. In fact, those improvements led to SentryWorld debuting at number 34 in Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in the magazine's May issue. "We're extremely proud of what we've created here at SentryWorld and are excited to have received this honor from Golf Digest," said General Manager Mike James. "Everyone at SentryWorld is committed to providing a premium golfing experience for our guests."

This isn't the first time SentryWorld has been recognized by the magazine. It won Golf Digest's first-ever Best New Public award in 1984 and is currently ranked as number five in their Best in State (Wisconsin) category. Other recent awards include:

* Ranked #78 in GOLF's 2017 "Top 100 Courses You Can Play"* Ranked #2 in GOLF's "Most Anticipated New Courses of 2015"* Ranked #4 in GOLF's 2017 "Best Golf Courses You Can Play in Wisconsin"* Ranked #6 in Golfweek's 2017 "Best Courses You Can Play in Wisconsin"

For more than three decades, SentryWorld's been heralded as one of the most unique and best golf courses in the Midwest. We invite you to experience it for yourself.
